The man was dressed in white, with jade hanging from his waist, and was extremely fast.
A sneering snort escaped him as he passed by.
Li Guanqi frowned slightly, he didn't see that the other party looked like someone in the Forging Realm either, so why was he so fast?
But immediately afterward, Li Guanqi saw the two Clear Wind Talismans stuck under the teenager's feet!
Li Guanqi shook his head and began to regulate his breathing and stride, he didn't know how many more steps there were up there, and he wanted to maintain his strength as much as possible.
When he came to the thousand steps, the steps that were more than ten feet wide and narrow were filled with people at this time, leaving only a two-foot wide and narrow path in the middle for people to climb upwards.
The one in front of him slowed down, so naturally the one behind him had to wait.
The young boys and girls who were sitting on the steps and resting were all looking at one another passing by with a playful look on their faces.
There were even some whose faces were simply unconcealed in their smiles.
It seems that these people were also compelled by the words of others, which made them sit so densely, leaving only a path that limited one's speed.
Seeing this scene, Li Guanqi couldn't help but reveal a cold smile at the corner of his mouth.
"It's really true that if you've gotten wet yourself, you're going to rip someone else's umbrella to shreds!"
"Hmph!"
Li Guanqi's mind's eye looked around the Western Zhou with sharp eyes.
He saw the alabaster handrail next to that ladder, and on the other side of the handrail was a thousand-foot cliff!
However, Li Guanqi exerted force under his feet, and his figure instantly lifted up in the air by about ten feet.
The moment he leapt out close to two feet, his feet stepped on a teenager's shoulder to leap up again!
"Wow! How can that guy jump that far."
"Is he crazy! What's he going to do? That's a cliff down there!"
This appalling move immediately drew gasps of shock from the crowd.
Ta-da!
Li Guanqi instantly landed on the handrail, his body crouched low, like a cheetah that chose to devour people and galloped towards the top.
However, the teenager's move drew shrieks from the crowd, but none dared to follow suit.
Realize that the other side of the handrail can be a thousand-foot cliff!
If one doesn't stand still, falling is a pulverized body, don't expect the Great Summer Sword Sect to send disciples to save you.
However, Li Guanqi is not the only one who is bold in his art.
This blocked ladder has hundreds of steps, slowing down the past others would have already reached the top.
There were many children of great clans in this group, who had polished their physical bodies since they were young and had similarly stepped into the Body Forging Realm.
Someone's arms forcefully climbed up the wall on the side of the ladder, his body like an ape with the help of the withered vines to instantly cross the crowd.
Others forcibly stepped on the shoulders of others to get over the crowd.
For a while the crowd was suddenly using all sorts of means, all speeding towards the top.
"Whew...ha..."
At this time, Li Guanqi had come to more than 2,000 steps, and his forward speed still did not slow down much.
The cloth carrying the sword coffin made two long bloody marks on his shoulders.
Sweat blurred the teenager's eyes, at this time beside him to be able to follow him beside only a few people but himself.
When Li Guanqi stepped onto the last step out of breath, the spirit talisman in his chest also stopped burning.
Li Guanqi held his hands on his knees and panted heavily.
At that moment a burly teenager came to his side and was just about to reach out and tap him on the shoulder.
Li Guanqi, however, sensed something and dodged.
The teenager, slightly taken aback, withdrew his hand and gave a thumbs-up compliment.
"Good man, brother this physique of yours is awesome!"
Li Guanqi turned his head to look at the dark-skinned youngster and laughed, "Brother is overrated, you're not bad either."
The teenager laughed and scratched his head.
"I chased you all the way but couldn't catch up, even I was sweating when I went through the crowd from the handrail, you've got a lot of nerve!"
"By the way, get acquainted, my name is Lin Dong."
Looking at the teenager's outstretched hand, Li Guanqi froze slightly.
Hesitating for a moment or extending his hand he whispered, "Blind, Li Guanqi."
Lin Dong froze slightly before looking at the cloth on Li Guanqi's eyes and grinning.
"They all call me Dongzi, so you can just call me that from now on."
"Let's go, it should be almost over by the time we look at it."
Li Guanqi's perception of this self-satisfied teenager was not bad, and the two of them walked side by side towards the square.
At this time, Li Guanqi raised his head and scanned the Western Zhou, he realized that this square platform was feared to be more than two thousand square feet.
And there were more than a hundred steps at the back of the plaza, above which was the huge hollow formed by the two peaks.
The stone carving on the top had the words 'Great Summer Sword Sect' written in western characters.
There were dozens of sword qi of different colors circling around the west.
Lin Dong narrated the situation of the peaks of the Great Summer Sword Sect in Li Guanqi's ear.
Hearing these words spoken by Lin Dong, Li Guanqi could not help but say doubtfully, "Are you familiar with the Great Summer Sword Sect?"
A naive smile appeared on Lin Dong's face as he scratched his head and returned.
"I've been practicing martial arts under the mountain since I was five years old, and entering the Great Summer Sword Sect is my lifelong dream, so of course I know it very well."
"If I can get lucky and build a foundation, flying with a sword, cutting down demons and eliminating evil, it would be so enjoyable!"
Just as the two of them were talking, a little fat man in a golden robe finally finished climbing the ladder with great difficulty.
His clothes had been drenched in sweat, and he was lying on the ground with a red face, panting heavily.
The spirit talisman on his chest was down to the size of a fingernail.
Little Fatty carefully held the little bit of yellow talisman paper tears coming out of his eyes.
After slowing down for a while the little fat man got up with difficulty and saw Li Guanqi walking towards the two of them with a smile behind his face.
While walking Little Fatty said with a waist full of smiles, "Two brothers, how are you?"
"My name is Li Sheng'an, I secretly hid a few chicken legs, would you like to eat together."
Originally, Li Guanqi wanted to refuse, after all, it's not good to eat other people's without knowing them.
But just as he wanted to refuse, his stomach couldn't carry the tantalizing aroma and rumbled.
Li Sheng'an's small eyes were even more smiling and narrowed, and he shoved the first of the chicken legs in his arms into the hands of the two of them.
When Li Guanqi realized that the chicken leg was actually still hot, he heard Li Sheng'an say.
"I put it in my arms, don't worry, it's wrapped in greaseproof paper, it definitely doesn't smell like sweat."
Lin Dong also laughed at his words and unceremoniously nibbled on it.
"My name is Lin Dong, and this brother is Li Guanqi."
"You don't say...I'm exhausted from climbing these steps, and I'm really hungry."
Li Sheng'an took over and complained, "Yes ... last year also did not hear to climb any stairs ah, the first pick up to find someone to spend some silver to carry up."
Li Guanqi, on the other hand, smiled and didn't say anything, he didn't believe that the Great Summer Sword Sect was idly engaging in such a stunt.
Sure enough!
Just as the three of them had just finished nibbling on their chicken legs, two young disciples wearing white clan uniforms actually flew out of that Heaven's Gate Cave with their swords!
That figure flying with a sword with both hands on his back completely shocked everyone!
At this moment, the people standing in the square were close to more than three thousand people, and everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but hold their breath.
The eyes burned as they looked at the two figures with dusty temperaments.
A man and a woman, the man was handsome, with sword brows and starry eyes, and a strong face.
The woman, on the other hand, had a cool temperament and skin like grease.
Melon face, willow leaf eyebrows, high nose, slightly thin lips.
What an earthly beauty!
Even Li Guanqi, who had an unperturbed song, watched this scene through his mind's eye, his heart stirring.
Fantasizing that perhaps one day he too could step on a sword and soar between heaven and earth!
Li Sheng'an muttered under his breath after seeing these two.
"Good fellow, Tian Jin Peak Outer Sect Senior Brother Zhou Zhi, Senior Sister Jiang Su, did the two personally come to receive them?"
Li Guanqi's ears twitched slightly as he memorized the names and identities of these two.
Based on his observation, he always felt that this Li Sheng'an didn't look like he came from any ordinary people's family.
A man and a woman floated to the ground, and the eyes of the crowd were focused on the duo.
By now very few people had ascended the ladder.
Zhou Zhi's face was expressionless as he scanned the Western Zhou, and then waved his hand and there was actually a large ancient bell that thumped on the stone floor.
The man then rang the ancient bell and said in a deep voice, "Time's up! Those who have not climbed the ladder can go back!"
The voice was mixed with spiritual energy that traveled far out, and countless people complained at once!
However, the man turned a deaf ear to this and threw out a jade slip, and the thousands of steps disappeared into thin air in front of everyone's eyes!
What was once a real step down was now a thousand-foot cliff!
The square that the crowd was standing in at this moment was actually floating in mid-air just like that.
The center of the square then steeply lit up with a mysterious glowing rune.
It finally came together in the shape of a teleportation array, shimmering with a shimmering light.
Jiang Su's cool voice slowly sounded, "Those whose spirit talismans burned out in front of their chests please step out."
When these words came out, a commotion spread amongst the crowd.
An invisible pressure emanated from Jiang Su's body, the clamor disappeared, and many people walked out with their heads hanging down.
"Those who did not make it to the mountain within the allotted time please enter the formation."
Li Guanqi couldn't help but laugh out loud as he looked at Li Sheng'an, who was carefully holding a fingernail-sized yellow talisman in his hand.
"Also the luck was really, really close."
Li Sheng'an's eyes were staring at the yellow talisman paper in his hand, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "God knows how hard I've been working!"
Lin Dong looked at the little fatty with some doubts and said, "Brother, it doesn't feel like you are short of money, why don't you get a few seal charms or something like that?"
But who knows that Li Shengan snorted and said, "Which is so simple ... You guys watch it."
Sure enough!
Zhou Zhi's figure slowly rose up in the air, his eyes revealing a sharp gaze as he said in a deep voice, "Speculators out!"
When this statement came out there were many people who lowered their heads and looked east and west.
Hm!
A cold snort seemed like a boulder pressing on the hearts of the crowd, and then Zhou Zhi threw out several transparent crystal balls with a wave of his hand.
Inside was the silhouette of many people who had used seal charms when climbing the steps.
Then there's the first take of special powders, and so on and so forth.
Without exception, these people are also exploited for their qualifications.
One of the burly teenagers was unconvinced and fiercely stepped out a few steps to look at Zhou Zhi and exclaimed.
"I've only taken some Blood Revitalizing Scatter that favors qi and blood, and I'm already at the peak of Body-Forging, so why should I be deprived of my qualifications as well!"
Zhou Zhi exclaimed as he turned his head to look at the man, his eyes narrowing in a deep voice.
"Are you ... trying to get me to give you an explanation?"
That teenager stretched his neck and said defiantly, "Yes! Not only am I at the peak of body forging, my father had long ago commissioned someone to help me test my spiritual roots."
"I am a wood and fire dual system True Spirit Root! Why should I be like a bunch of losers!"
The corner of Zhou Zhi's mouth lifted up a cold smile as he dropped down from mid-air and walked towards the person who had spoken!
Zhou Zhi, who was a head taller than the other party, looked down into the other party's eyes and sneered.
"You think you have a high talent for both wood and fire spirit roots and can't look at other people, right?"
The teenager felt a powerful sense of oppression against Zhou Zhi's gaze and held his face red.
But he still voiced, "That's right! On what grounds!"
Zhou Zhi turned to look back at Xi Zhou and said softly, "Do some of you think so too?"
Seeing that none of the crowd dared to speak up, Zhou Zhi snorted.
"You guys don't have as much guts as he does!"
"What's your name?"
The teenager looked up at Zhou Zhi, his mind calmed down quite a bit, and said in a deep voice, "Luo Hu!"
Zhou Zhi flew back and stood in the air, looking at the crowd in a deep voice.
"The speculative generation, the Great Summer Sword Sect doesn't want it, accept whoever you like!"
"If there are no other questions, grab and roll!"
Luo Hu's face immediately sank, anger rising in his heart as he felt that Zhou Zhi was targeting him!
At this time, Luo Hu happened to see Li Guanqi's group of three.
He immediately poured out his anger on Li Guanqi, pointing at him and roaring.
"The Great Summer Sword Sect even wants a blind man! It's better not to come to this long-forgotten sect!"
Hearing this, Zhou Zhi's face instantly became gloomy.
Facing the more than three thousand sect worshipping children at this moment, he said in a deep voice.
"The Great Summer Sword Sect collects disciples based on character, perseverance, and talent!"
"Aren't you not convinced? Show me your spirit talisman!"
Luo Hu will take out the spirit symbols in his arms and throw it to Zhou Zhi, looking at the spirit symbols that are still left in the western part of the crowd can not help but sound of amazement!
Because most of the spirit talismans that were able to summit here had only one-tenth of their spirit talisman left.
Luo Hu looked at Zhou Zhi with an arrogant face.
It's as if saying that it's your loss if your Great Summer Sword Sect doesn't accept me.
However, Zhou Zhi walked to Li Guanqi's side and said softly, "Can you show me your spirit talisman?"
Li Guanqi rubbed his nose, not realizing that this could also affect him.
He then handed Zhou Zhi his remaining spirit talisman from his arms.
Luo Hu, who was looking at the duo in one song, couldn't help but say when he saw the iterated spirit talisman.
"What did I expect! Isn't it just about the same as me, with all the west centimeters left!"
"That only means he's not bad, so what?"
But who knew that Zhou Zhi slowly spread out the iterated spirit talisman in front of the shocked gazes of the crowd.
One of the West Points!
But ... Li Guanqi is that the spirit talisman has only burned one of the western points, and there is still a large part left!
The previously iterated rune was not unfolded and appeared to be only a small piece.
Zhou Zhi was obviously a bit surprised as well...
Looking at Luo Hu with cold eyes, he said.
"Didn't you disobey? Now what?"
"No need for bullshit! Get lost!
